Operation Unicorn will overtake the UK’s agenda for days and play out potentially for months before the coronation of a new monarch.
At the time of the Queen’s death, Sir Edward Young, her private secretary, called the Prime Minister and said “London Bridge is down.” What happens now? 👉🏻
– The Queen’s successor, Prince Charles, takes over immediately.
– The Queen’s funeral will take place 10 days after her death.
– The Queen’s funeral is expected to be watched by more than 2.5 billion people.
– Following the funeral, it could take over a year for Prince Charles’ coronation, because it’s seen as bad taste to do it too quickly.
– The national anthem will be immediately changed to “God Save the King”.
– Queen’s death include a suspension of all comedy programmes across all BBC channels until after the funeral.
– The phasing out of the Queen’s face from currency and postal stamps will begin almost immediately.
